Stuck with multiple clips selected

I have selected multiple clips on the timeline and applied an effect.  Now when I click away from the clips they will all deselect as expected, but when I click back on any one of those clips all of the previously selected clips highlight and act as a single clip.  All I did was adjust the gain of the audio to a group of clips.  Is there any way to deselect them and make each clip behave normally? 

Running the most recent update of Premiere Pro CC.  I tried closing Premiere and restarting with the same result.  This is very baffling.  Any ideas?

      Click on one of the clips that selects all the highlighted clips, then go to the menu Clip and see if UnGroup is a selectable option. If so, select it.

      You may have grouped the clips by accident, as the short cut for Group is "Command (Control) + G" and the shortcut to adjust the gain is "G".

        Yes, thank you.  That was it.  I must have inadvertently hit the control key trying to get into the gain adjustment.
